Thanks James. Probably because most of the press believe that the Harriers in service today are airframes that served during the Falklands.

Yeah they probly do and I awlays find it annoying:mad:

This is one of the best ever sets of low flying images posted including those I see on low fly net.

Ditto – by a long way! Brilliant work – especially the first two images.

With the amount of crew interaction now happening I am beginning to think of a coral reef where big predators turn up to be looked after by small cleaning fish,only in this case they turn up to have a pic taken !

Thanks. Much appreciated. I would personally like to see no crew interaction. Sometimes, I feel, that it ruins the shot. That aside, it must be fantastic to be a back-seater on a familiarisation flight and go knife-edge through that pass?! No wonder they go wave daft in the back seats of some of those Hawks!

Typhoons, Tornados and Hawks from the eastern side. Not very good for photography as they normally bank to starboard to enter the pass.

A good video of a trip in a Hawk with footage at low-level
